Abstract :
This paper describes a distributed multi-robot simulation system, named RobSim. RobSim is naturally organized into a set of plug-in modules, such as motion module, sensors module, communication module and map module, etc. It can be extended and combined easily by plunging-in new modules. RobSim is capable of simulating various types of sensors and which can be used for testing robot navigation, planning, multi-robot collaboration or network control, etc. A demonstration application has been developed to validate the RobSimpsilas effectiveness and practicality.
